Parliament Monsoon Session 2026 Begins Amid Legislative Agenda and Opposition Challenges
The Monsoon Session of Parliament commenced on July 20, 2026, with the government presenting a legislative agenda including key bills on income tax reforms, MSME development, foreign contribution regulation, Supreme Court judge expansion, and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Amendment. The Opposition plans to raise issues such as the NEET paper leak, alleged theft of Ram Temple donations, ethanol blending policy, and political defections. Tensions are heightened by the inclusion of rebel Trinamool Congress MPs in the Nationalist Citizens Party of India, prompting a brief Opposition walkout. The session is expected to witness intense debates amid shifting political alignments and calls for constructive parliamentary functioning.
